Learning to use scissors is an important skill for preschoolers to work on but that doesn't mean it can't be fun! Cutting Activities for Preschoolers can range from simply snipping a blank piece of paper, to finding unique materials to cut or creating really cool crafts! We started working on scissor cutting with my preschooler around a year ago and we have had so much fun coming up with ideas together. I'm adding some affiliate links for easy shopping.
